In designing a website, there are various practices that need to be remembered. These are points to help you built a navigable, user-friendly website without compromising its appearance, making it look professional. A web design team as Wedge internet Marketing follows these practices in providing websites:
Text uniformity. In creating a website, it is better to note that the formatting of the text is important. It is recommended to use a uniform font style for all the pages of your website to make it look professional, 1 or 2 is fine. The font style and size to be used should be readable enough not only for most users but also those having low vision levels.
Object balance. You will be creating a business website and putting in images on the pages is unavoidable. Also, text-only websites seem boring to users and will tend to lose interest in browsing around and will end up living your site. Placing images on a website needs moderation. The text and number of images that would appear on your site should be correctly balanced. This is to ensure that your site will not be tagged as irrelevant and for it to be easily previewed by users.
Easy to read content. Use bullet points or cut paragraphs with images if necessary so it won’t be easy for users to get bored. Also, users prefer that it is easy to skim/scan through the page for details.
Bold or underline. Key points should be in bold text to give emphasis while underline should be used on text. By common knowledge, underlined words are usually links to be clicked. Also, links should be different in color from the rest of the text. Commonly used for active links is blue while purple for visited links.
Page layout. It is better to use a single layout for your website. This way, it would be easier for users to navigate through the website without being lost. It is fine to use frames but not too much. Users dislike cluttered pages and will tend to leave the site. Your site should look clean and organized.
